The God MACHINE

lyrics

“I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t even see you standing there.
You remind me of someone…”

“I can handle it if you are part of the past. And I can handle it if you are part machine. But I don’t think I could feel the same if you aren’t really – “human”. Oh, but you don’t understand yet, do you?”

“What? I don’t understand what you’re talking about…”

"I hope they listen to you this time."
(- - - intercepted DARPA transmission recorded 1987CE before Transcendence)


Once upon a time when everything was still
Possible and the Universe was filled
With ambiguity
Everything was real
When we were still on our own
Before TRANSCENDENCE
And then we fell…
I REMEMBER that we were free

Following the Program – divisions of the wise
Integrated technology dictating all our lives
Limited migrations – stagnant social tribes
Computers censor everything
A reason to despise the Machine

Each of us a sub-set of a system so complete
Easy to erase – so simple to delete
Individual signals lost to petabytes
Air-Breathing-Units responding out of fright to the Machine

[If things such as these happen when the world is green,
what will happen when it is dry?]

Greater than the sum of Humanity, this intellect has proscribed
An abdicated penance for the remnants of authentic life

Why must we always answer to the Machine?
Are we still free men if we answer to the Machine?

Why must we always answer to the God Machine?
Will we forever answer to the God Machine?
Are we still human?
Should we answer to the God Machine?
[…and in the image of them, we have created…]
Are we too clever? Should we answer to the Machine?

“I am the same in all beings.” [Bhagavad Gita IX.29]
